DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK....

THAT A WOMAN'S WORK IS NEVER DONE?

Today I had hoped it would be an easier day for me than it has been these past couple of weeks. But no....I was in the kitchen making myself a cup of nice hot coffee in a new brown cup I bought this week and no...I started looking at my cookbooks because I had just visited a blog that had the same cookbook I have and it just prompted me to look at it again. It had been a while since I flipped the pages and then when I did flip the pages I noticed "DUST." That terrible nose stuffing stuff that makes you gag. Well that did it.



When I volunteered at the library I used to clean the books in the basement with Goo Gone and it worked pretty good, so I started using it for home use. It works pretty good. I had to dust off the books first and then I would clean with the Goo Gone. To make a long story short, I have a lot of cookbooks and what I've taken pictures of, are no where near what I have. These are my kitchen cookbooks, mostly Spanish/Mexican cuisine. They were all dusty, so I cleaned them and now have to put them in their shelf space.

So you see, a woman's work is never done. From the time she wakes in the morning she is filled with daily duties that last most of the day. I'm glad I don't work or I would never be able to do it all.  I'm lucky if I find time to get in the studio. Why I haven't had my hair styled in ages, let alone cut. Oh what the heck, I'm letting it grow long anyway. I always have it in a braid or bun, so I shouldn't complain.  I better get back to cleaning, but here are some of my cookbooks. The one that caused me all this trouble was this beauty: MEXICO, THE BEAUTIFUL COOKBOOK

So here are the rest of the ones that reside in my kitchen. All the other cookbooks are in the pantry and someday I will show you all of them.

OKAY I'M GOING  TO THE KITCHEN TO CLEAN, A WOMAN'S WORK IS NEVER DONE!! BUT I'M HAPPY AND CONTENT, THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS SAY
VIVA LA VIDA!

My Little Tree





That's all we need. Each year I buy two or three ornaments to add to the tree. These little ornaments I have had for many years. It's the same tree, the same ornaments, pictures of family, family pets and this year I added a picture of El Dia de Los Muertos. We all celebrate together, one way or the other. Have a great Friday, I will. I removed my Cafecito in New York Banner till the end of the year and then it comes back. Serena gave it to me and so it goes back. I love it anyway. Take care.

Awards and Blogging

What is great about blogging is the friendships you make. You get to know what really makes people tick. Their thoughts and ideas flow freely for you to read and from that travel through space, a bond is made. I too like the idea of the awards of various types. It is a fun thing to do. Viva La Awards.
